There was a Real Estate office in my town and it displayed pictures of the properties in some type of clear acrylic boxes behind the main counter. From the road, these reminded me of the donut bins at Dunkin' Donuts and I always bugged my grandparents to take me in for a donut. I believed this for years until one night my grandmother made my grandfather pull over so I could get a "donut". This finally stopped the pesting!

My Nan used to take us to a big theatre to watch a Christmas Panto every year. In front of every seat, there were Binoculars attached, and you had to pay to release them, to get a better view of the performance.

Before the very 1st performance began, my Nan caught me starng at people in the audience through these binoculars.

When asked what I was doing, I replied I'm getting my looks-worth before they blow up!

Little did I know that they weren't on a timer-device!

I used to believe that nobody actually lived in cities--they all commuted from the suburbs to work there.

I thought that a the resteraunt Hulihans, that it was Hula- HANDS! They would chop off your hands, fry them, and serve them! I though the logo would be two disembodyed hands, in green gloves, tossing a dark pink HulaHoop. I though the logo would look like the Doctor Suess illestrator drew it!

I though I would have to sit on my hands or else they would be chopped off!

I was afraid!

When I was about five, my daddy told me that when I was a baby, we went to the ocean for vacation and a shark was chasing me around the water. He said that he then jumped in the ocean, onto the shark's back, and beat him up. Then the shark starts whimpering and goes down a waterfall. When he told me it wasn't true, I cried about it for a long time.

I used to believe that the binoculars that you pay to release in theatre's to get a better view of the performance would self-destruct before the end of the performance

I used to believe that walking around the local streets in a certain order would bring me out at the seaside which was 170 miles away. Never did find the correct order of turns, so I'd take a different routes so often that I'd get so lost in some alley somewhere, and have to explain this all to the police. So, now, here I am safe with my own special gown, in my own special room, being spoon fed 3 times a day by my own special friends.

I used to believe that babies needed to be walked in strollers, like dogs, because in my neighborhood, all the small children (including myself) would be walked around by their parents during the summer months
